[FIXED] - Installing a Microsoft update, library or application can result in the installer exiting with an Accessed Denied error

Issue - When installing a Microsoft update, library or application, the installer can exit with the error "Accessed Denied". When Drive Bender v2 creates a file, it uses "user impersonation" to ensure the file is owned by the correct user (this did not happen in version 1, the owner of any file created was "system", which is the context the Drive Bender service runs under). It is the impersonated user that is getting the access denied error. There are a couple of points to note here.1) This does not effect all users.2) Of the users that do have an issue, it is only with Microsoft based software.

Workaround - Providing you are running version v2.1.6.0 or higher, you can disable this user impersonation. Open regedit, and head to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Division-M\Drive Bender", create a new DWORD value called "Disable User Impersonation", and set to 1 then restart. This disables the creation of file using the current user (the owner of the file will be system). For the most part this will not effect anything unless you are running a very users specific environment (i.e. you are relying on file ownership for security purposes).

Expected Fix - We are working on finding a solution and will release an update one we have a fix.
